The [[robot]]s had become fundamental to Kaldorian society by the time of the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s first visit there. The society itself was threatened when a disguised [[Taren Capel]] began to reprogram the robots on one [[sandminer]] to [[murder]] the [[human]] crew — civilisation would collapse if the citizens lost their faith in the robot workforce. [[The Doctor]] subtly altered Capel's voice pattern, and, not recognising him, his own robot followers turned on him and killed him. All the modified robots were destroyed shortly afterwards.

As was eventually discovered, Capel's plan also had a second phase that was activated after his death. It concerned the transmission of a specially designed program to modify the robots' basic operational software in order to turn them into murderers.
